Pravastatin Sodium Tablets recall

FDA recall D-0612-2024 · initiated Jun 28, 2024

By the pharmaranks editorial teamReviewed against the FDA (openFDA) sourcesUpdated Jul 24, 2024How we research

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA recalled Pravastatin Sodium Tablets in Jun 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0612-2024) because Failed Dissolution Specifications: results below specifications.

May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.

Why it was recalled

Failed Dissolution Specifications: results below specifications

Wrong strength, or it did not keep

The product did not contain what the label promised, or stopped meeting specification before its expiry date. Under-strength medicine can mean an untreated condition.

This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
